Navy’s Dark Admiral

Longinus looked slightly startled, and looked at Cobra, who looked like a super-brained fan in front of him, and couldn't react.

"Is this guy really the future king of Alabasta?" Although Longinus expressed doubts in his heart, he still kept a genial smile and said, "Prince Cobra, I..."

"No, don't call me Prince Kobra!" Kobra said excitedly, "You can call me Kobra or little Kobra, but don't use honorifics!"

Longinus' body trembled slightly, almost suspecting that this guy was gay, but his strong concentration still made him say calmly, "Okay! Let's all take a step back, I'll call you Cobra, you don't either. Say 'you', just call me Longinus!"

"Is this... is this really okay?" Cobra trembled all over, and his face was excited, and that appearance made Longinus suspect that he would faint in the next moment.

Seeing Longinus nodding without leaving a trace, Cobra took a deep breath and said, "Major Longinus, I really adore you. When I saw what you said in the newspaper two years ago Those words are the famous words you said when you defeated the Blood Blade Pirates, strength should be the servant of justice."

"After that, I finally found the meaning of my existence in the muddled days, and that is to use the power given to me by the people to seek greater happiness for them!"

Longinus instantly switched to a kind personality and said earnestly: "You are doing the right thing. Power and strength are monsters that cannot be released from the cage. Only by restricting them with justice and truth can they avoid their abuse."

After receiving Longinus' affirmation, Kobra was even more excited, but he felt a little sad in addition to his excitement, "It's a pity that Father King refused to listen to my advice at all. After years of wars in the country, although his position and power have continued to expand. , but the economic situation has already fallen below freezing point, and the domestic war weariness has reached its peak, and now Alabasta is the explosive on the edge of the volcano, which may blow the country to shreds at any time.”

"So, you mean..."

"I hope you, Major Longinus, can help me save this country that may be destroyed at any time!" Cobra said hurriedly.

"You want to wrest power from your father?"

"Ah? No, Major Longinus, you misunderstood!" Cobra waved his hands in defense again and again, "I hope you can use the concept of justice to influence my father, who has lost his eyes in war and destruction!"

"Influence..." Longinus twitched the corners of his mouth speechlessly. According to Brigadier General Adkin, the current king of Alabasta is a sinister and cunning old yin B. This kind of person will be "influenced by the concept of "justice". ', unless it's more or less a dream.

But Longinus did not directly deny it, but asked a little tangled, "Do you have any more detailed information that can give me an advantage in the next negotiation and make your father feel guilty because of 'guilt'. Give up your plan to continue the war?"

"Does the father feel guilty? Does contacting the pirates count?" Cobra said ignorantly.

Seeing Cobra suddenly throwing such an explosive depth charge, Longinus couldn't help taking a deep breath. It seems that this guy is really a good player!

Although it is impossible to overthrow a king just by hiring pirates, if it works well, it will be a good bargaining chip in the meeting.

Longinus said calmly: "Yes, tell me this information in detail."

"Okay. I also said before that the war weariness in the country has reached its peak, which has greatly reduced the combat effectiveness of the army. In the early stage of the war, we were actually in a backward situation, so the father secretly contacted the crazy pirates and the heart. The Pirates, the Banner Pirates, let those pirates disguise themselves as the army and participate in the war, which saved the situation of losing ground."

"Working with pirates,

It is no different from seeking skin with a tiger. ' Longinus said succinctly.

"Well! I think so too. Those pirates who can't get enough food will one day target Alabasta, a country that looks powerful but is actually dilapidated!"

...

Due to the continuous outbreak of the women's war at the banquet, the banquet soon ended in a mess.

And the four-nation peace talks that were supposed to be tomorrow were put on this night because of the King of Alabasta's strong request.

In the spacious and open hall, the dignitaries and nobles of the four countries stand behind their own royal families, while the navy represented by Commodore Adkin is sitting at the front of the palace, facing the four royal families.

"Okay, let's start speaking freely now. Although the navy's position is to remain neutral, out of the idea of ​​peace, I still hope that the kings can reach a reconciliation."

The King of Alabasta, who was sitting near the left, looked around for a week, then raised his neck somewhat reservedly and said, "Since everyone is so silent, let this king come to us. In order to start this war, our kingdom has invested a lot of manpower. Material resources, to end this war, we must at least make up for the loss!"

"So, our Alabasta's desire is very simple, that is, your three countries compensate us with 10 billion baileys, and how to distribute these 10 billion baileys is your business."

"Ridiculous, 10 billion Bailey's war funds, I think you have no sincerity in peace talks at all." King Crete slapped the table angrily and scolded directly.

"Don't be in such a hurry, I haven't finished. Given our country's absolute leading position in the current war, ending the war will damage a large part of our vested interests, so I have the right to ask for the premise of maintaining the occupied territories. , and take a province from your respective kingdoms as a trophy."

"After all, to end the war in such a good situation, even if I am the king, I still need to bear quite a heavy pressure!"

"However, in order to show my generosity, I can leave you to choose freely without specifying which province. Well, you can praise my kindness as much as you like now!"

"Respected King of Alabasta, I really can't see any sincerity about peace talks in your words." King Siska also frowned and said firmly, "If you really have the will of peace Come, we'll have a good drink to entertain friends, but if you're trying to threaten provocation with a new round of war, the valiant Shiskar citizens will also take their shotguns and drive away the jackals!"

"Hum! Two kings, before the choice of survival and dignity, I think you will make the right decision."

Seeing that the peace talks had fallen into a fierce stalemate from the very beginning, and it seemed that it was about to turn into a prelude to the outbreak of war, Brigadier General Adkin hurriedly asked for help in a low voice, "Longinus, come on, I can no longer control the situation!"

Longinus took a deep breath, when did you take control of the situation, why don't I know anything?

"Kings, please listen to me. The key to peace talks is to seek common ground while reserving differences. Since everyone is here for peace, please be more patient and listen to my analysis of the current situation." Longinus faintly oppressed his soul It exudes, giving people an aura of a superior, making people unconsciously want to listen to him finish speaking, and make the originally restless situation calm again.
